Abstract (en)
A hollow bicycle rim 24 includes a pair of side portions 50, an outer portion 52 and a spoke attachment portion 54 with a plurality of spoke openings 76. The side portions 50 have ribs 51a to form opposing tire supporting surfaces 60b. The outer portion 52 extends between the side portions 50. The outer portion 52 includes a pair of annular inclined surfaces 62b extending radially inwardly from the side portions 50 with a curved connecting surface 62d extending therebetween. The spoke attachment portion 54 is rigidly coupled with the side portions 50 and the outer portion 52. The inclined surfaces 62b are preferably angled between three degrees and seventeen degrees. The outer annular portion 52 preferably has at least one aperture, but fewer than half of the number of spoke openings 76. The side portions 50 preferably have a pair of inner bent sections. A pair of spoke attachment sections 66 with the plurality of circumferentially arranged spoke openings 76 preferably have radial lengths larger than the spoke openings 76. <IMAGE>
